Do I still need to spend money to buy nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers? It’s convenient and cheap to make it yourself, and the flower buds are so delicious!

Nitrogen Fertilizer Effects

Nitrogen fertilizer mainly promotes the growth of flower branches and leaves, making the branches and leaves more shiny and lush, and the stems more firm and upright.

1. Lack of nitrogen fertilizer

If flowers lack nitrogen fertilizer, the plants will be short, the leaves will be narrow, the leaf color will be dull, the old leaves at the bottom will turn yellow and fall off easily, and the branches will be weak.

2. Too much nitrogen fertilizer

Too much nitrogen fertilizer will cause the stems and leaves to grow too long, inhibit the formation of flower buds, and make the branches and leaves tender and susceptible to disease and insect attack.

Homemade nitrogen fertilizer

There are many ways to make your own nitrogen fertilizer, including composted melon and fruit peels, beans, etc. Today, Huahua will teach you how to make your own decomposed nitrogen fertilizer.

1. Boil waste

Damp peanuts, dragon fruit peels, and expired milk powder. (Crush the peanuts, cut the peels into small pieces, and pour the milk powder into the pot).

2. Repeat cooking 3 times

After boiling, collect the soup in a plastic bucket. The remaining waste is boiled again with water and the cycle is repeated 3 times.

3. Store in sealed container

After cooling, seal and store, opening the lid for ventilation every 3-5 days.

4. Bottling of clean water

After sealing for two months, you can bottle the clean water and bury the residue in the soil.

Usage: Apply liquid nitrogen fertilizer once a week. Do not use too much at one time. Apply it at a ratio of 1:100. Excessive fertilizer will cause root burn.

Phosphate Fertilizer Benefits

Phosphorus fertilizer can make the stems and branches of flowers tough, promote the formation of flower buds, make the flowers large and colorful, and ripen the fruits early. It can also make the flowers grow and develop well, produce more new roots, and improve their resistance to cold and drought.

Lack of phosphorus fertilizer

Insufficient phosphorus fertilizer will cause flowers to grow slowly, have small leaves, small flowers and fruits, and mature late. The veins between the lower leaves will first turn yellow and then purple-red.

Homemade phosphate fertilizer

Organic fertilizers that contain more phosphorus include bone meal, rice bran, fish scales, poultry manure, etc. Inorganic phosphate fertilizers include superphosphate, phosphate rock powder, calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, etc. Today, Huahua will teach you how to make your own phosphate fertilizer, which is bone meal.

1. Soak and dilute the salt

Take a large basin of clean water and soak the leftover animal bones - pork ribs, fish bones, etc. - in it for a day to dilute the salt.

2. Dry and crush

Place the soaked bones in the sun to dry for a few days. When they feel crisp, crush them into bone powder.

Usage: Bone meal should be applied 6 to 8 cm away from the roots of the plant or buried at the bottom of the potting soil.

Potassium Fertilizer Effects

Potassium fertilizer can make the stems of flowers strong, improve their ability to resist diseases and insects, cold, drought and lodging, and promote the development of roots.

1. Lack of potassium fertilizer

Potassium deficiency can cause necrotic spots to appear on the leaf edges of flowers. Spots will first appear on the lower old leaves, and the leaf edges and tips will begin to turn yellow, followed by scorch and necrosis.

2. Too much potassium fertilizer

Excessive potassium fertilizer will cause the entire plant to dwarf, the leaves to turn yellow, or even die.

Homemade Potash Fertilizer

The leftover tea and wood ash water are all excellent potassium fertilizers. The most representative organic potassium fertilizer is wood ash. Today, Huahua will teach you how to make wood ash.
